Are you dealing with debilitating stress, anxiety, relational issues, or personal struggles? Or feeling like you can’t stop a negative cycle with yourself or others? The transitions in the young adults’ years can be difficult and sometimes feel impossible to navigate.

Through focusing on the goals of the client, I am able to find measurable tasks and tools to help reach their goals.

Experiencing hurdles in life such as challenging relationships, family life issues and concerns about the direction of your career are normal, but can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or angry. So many of our problems come down to not having enough insight into how our minds work; what we want, what we fear, why we act the way we do, and why we are overwhelmed by certain feelings. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations and my job is to facilitate finding those answers.

There are many reasons someone may be seeking counseling whether it be for the first time, or deciding to restart therapy. You may not be feeling like your usual self lately; lacking motivation, having trouble making decisions, sleeping too much or having trouble falling asleep, or feeling “stuck” in life. Do you just feel "off?" Parents of teens, are you feeling like things are out of control? Maybe your teen is participating in risky behaviors isolating themselves, struggling academically, constantly fighting with you, & won’t open up about anything. You’re worried about the changes you see & feel it’s time to seek outside help.

Normal people have mental health problems, just like they have physical health problems. Honesty and openness are key components of counseling. It is really important to find someone with whom you feel comfortable and in whom you have confidence & trust. The best way to do that is to meet with the therapist in person to see if they are a good fit for you. My primary role is to serve as an objective consultant who uses his training and expertise to help people grow, change & reach their goals. A client's goals are my goals in working with them.

I am a frequent teacher through TCU's extended adult education programs, as well as a speaker, group and retreat leader.

We as humans tend to get stuck in unhealthy cycles, and have a difficult time seeing a way out. Many of us want to get unstuck, but struggle to see how. There also tends to be a lack of motivation, because at a certain point we have tried so many times and failed. We wonder if it's worth it to keep trying. These unhealthy cycles may cause depression, anxiety, alcohol dependency, relational or marital issues, or an overall confusion about our life's direction and purpose. Many of these unhealthy cycles may also be made worse because of past trauma that has never been dealt with. I am here to help the person who wants to get unstuck.

Sometimes life's challenges can leave you feeling defeated. The trauma you've experienced, the troubles you encounter, or even the major life changes that you go through can have you in a dark place. Regardless of what you have been through, there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnels. Sometimes, we may just need a little help getting out of that tunnel or seeing the light. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you get through whatever challenges you are struggling with overcoming and help you see that light in your life. I truly believe that there is no challenge that you can not overcome.

Currently cash pay ONLY. We have no handbook for life when we enter the world. Most likely, we weren't prepared for hardships or difficult feelings that came. You may be dealing with emotional pain, emptiness, having scattered thoughts, mounting problems, relationship issues, or even thoughts of giving up. It is common to feel stuck, and not know which way to turn in a world that moves quickly and waits for no one. We MUST reach out for help and guidance. I know that for every problem we have, there is an equal solution. Let's find out what they are together.
